be_v lift_v up_o by_o faith_n unto_o the_o heaven_n but_o at_o length_n the_o victory_n be_v faith_n david_n after_o that_o through_o weakness_n he_o have_v almost_o blaspheme_v then_o next_o through_o faith_n again_o he_o triumph_v it_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v indeed_o that_o the_o flesh_n in_o the_o first_o combat_n have_v the_o mastery_n as_o it_o be_v as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v

to_o wit_n because_o there_o be_v before_o a_o great_a weakness_n for_o in_o the_o combat_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n the_o more_o that_o any_o man_n be_v cast_v down_o through_o a_o

sometime_o into_o those_o speech_n o_o miserable_a man_n that_o i_o be_o who_o shall_v deliver_v i_o from_o the_o body_n of_o this_o death_n contrariwise_o the_o ungodly_a they_o misbeleeve_v god_n
